Today we have a very cute and useful tutorial because we are going to make a cute crocheted chick that is perfect for beginners because we will do it in one piece, so it will be very easy to knit and it will not take much time to get it ready. There is nothing more tender than knitting animals and especially chicks knitted with shells, so with this model you can also knit this type of crochet chicks. You can use these fabrics as key rings, as stuffed animals or even as decoration for your kitchen or a toy for the little ones, it will depend on the size in which you choose to knit it.
CROCHET WOVEN CHICK STEP BY STEP The first thing we need is 100 grams of yellow baby wool, if you want to knit it with a cute shell you can use 100 grams of white baby wool, we will also need a couple of black beads, orange wool, stuffed stuffing and a number 2 crochet hook. The stuffed stuffing can vary, as it will depend on the shape you want to give it, even if you want the fabric to be somewhat firmer or, on the contrary, much looser and the shape molds itself to the use.
What we are going to do is a newborn chick, so it is in one piece. If you have already crocheted spheres, this will be much easier for you, since it is a slightly deformed sphere. There doesn't have to be precision in this case and any inadvertent errors may go unnoticed by other people. You can also easily hide seams in fabrics like these.
To start with the crocheted chick we are going to knit a magic ring with 6 single crochets, we close and we are going to knit 12 single crochets in the second round, in the next 10 rounds you need to knit 6 increases in each round, the next two rounds you only need knit without increasing and knit another 3 increasing 6 stitches in each round. Knit in the next 3 rows knit 6 decreases. Fill and close.

CROCHETED CHICK TO DECORATE If you want to make a cute crocheted chick coming out of the shell, knit a half sphere with white yarn as you did with the yellow yarn. But only knit 10 loops, then you can place the chick in it. With the orange wool you can embroider details such as the beak and the crest that you can do by placing some yellow or orange strips as well, do not forget to place a pair of black eyes on your chick. You can easily get those at a bazaar or use whatever you have at home as buttons in a similar way.
These fabrics can also be as useful as your imagination allows. For example, this crocheted chick can be used as a mitten for the little ones, as a glove to keep you warm from the cold or as a toy to distract the little ones.
These same stitches can be used to knit other amigurumi figures, if you want to delve deeper into this topic and make more step-by-step crochet animals, I recommend that you check the Gloriarte page where it teaches you how to make several simple amigurumi perfect for beginners.
